Summer Pulse

Summer Pulse on the Plaza

Summer Pulse on the Plaza is a free, all-ages celebration of music, art, and community in the heart of Downtown Courtenay. Taking place on the plaza on warm summer evenings, this vibrant outdoor series invites residents and visitors to gather, connect, and experience the creative energy of the Comox Valley.

Each event features live music, participatory arts experiences, and moments that bring people together—whether you’re singing along, dancing, or simply soaking up the atmosphere. Designed as a welcoming, inclusive space, Summer Pulse on the Plaza showcases local talent, celebrates collaboration, and reimagines our downtown as a lively cultural gathering place.

Summer Pulse is organized by Comox Valley Arts in deep partnership with the Comox Valley Art Gallery, Downtown Courtenay, Elevate the Arts, and Queer Centre Comox Valley.
